It’s time to #TakeItBack
This last one is all about attitude, determination, and culture. The Houston Astros just so happen to have all of this in bunches. This team truly loves playing baseball and has a ton of fun doing which results in lots and lots of wins.
The 2017 World Series victory was incredibly sweet. The manner in which the team won was so exciting and thrilling which perfectly encapsulates this team. Heading into the 2018 season, expectations were riding high.

Unfortunately, the Astros were dismantled by the Red Sox in five games in the ALCS, including losing three straight at Minute Maid Park to end the season. While repeating is always hard, this was still a very disappointing ending to the 2018 quest for glory.
The team’s 2018 hashtag on twitter was #NeverSettle. The team never did even though they came up short. In 2019, the team came up with a new hashtag for the season and it is #TakeItBack. Some don’t love it but, I think it’s perfect.
This team is hungry. 2018 was disappointing, especially after tasting glory in 2017. I believe that this team is ready to run the table once again in 2019. The hungry, from the youngest member of the team to the oldest. They’re heading into the season with a chip on their shoulder and they’re ready to #TakeItBack.
